Ezekiel 9:5-8 But, unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him, and smite,––let not your eye, shield, neither have ye pity:

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But, unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him, and smite,––let not your eye, shield, neither have ye pity: ⁶ elder, young man and virgin, and little ones and women, shall ye slay utterly, but, unto any man who hath upon him the mark, do not ye come near, and, at my sanctuary, shall ye begin. So they began with the elder men, who were before the house. ⁷ And he said unto them, Defile ye the house, and fill the courts with the slain,––go ye forth! So they went forth, and smote in the city. ⁸ And it came to pass, while they were smiting them––I, being left remaining, that I fell upon my face and made outcry, and said, Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! art thou, about to destroy, all the remnant of Israel, in that thou art pouring out of thine indignation upon Jerusalem?
